Obj: TLW apply knowledge of an electrical circuit by creating a presentation to demonstrate both an open and closed circuit using at least one media source.
Focus Questions:
How does an electric circuit work?
What is a closed circuit? Open circuit?
What are the components of a simple circuit?
Guided Practice:
Day 1 and 2: Students will recieve all the components needed to create a circuit and will work in partners to make a open and closed circuit and share with the group.
Independent Activity:
Day 1: Students will complete a journal entry reflecting on the circuit they made and explain how a electircal circuit works?
Day 2: Students will work in pairs to create a simulation that support how to make a circuit using the following link: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc I like the applet. Can students embed their circuit in a wiki?
